5. I've had this same concern about problems returning to the US.

Over the years, I’ve posted a lot of comments and articles with commentary criticizing Trump and Republicans. It would take quite a while to delete all my comments from DU, the NYT, the Washington Post, Facebook, messages, and email. I’ve thought about getting a burner phone to take with me, but that seems like a dead giveaway, and I also travel with my iPad. I’ll be eager to here other readers’ comments. I also wonder whether it would make a difference if you’re going through Customs in a blue state versus a red state.
